Erik Santos Star In A Million 2003 Grand Finals - This Is The Moment

[@reign.of.giselle]

what a perfect song choice for erik. the most memorable filipino singing contest imo. a legit SINGING contest. also, halos lahat ng finalists nagka-hit songs. idol philippines could never.

[@jaytamayo4694]

Lalo na ang the Clash na trash! Kkomnga I prefer Star in a Million than the Clash. Halos 20 taon na ang lumipas pero MAS gusto ko ko pa rin. Another evidecne WHY ABS-CBN is THE GREATEST and PHILIPPINES' LARGETS NETWORK.

[@kristianroa5972]

I think it's just we're into western music nowadays that's why even though there are some great new OPM songs, some of us appreciate more the western music than our local music. Compare before that we're all into OPM that's why there are a lot of hits before.

[@jeonjungwick8777]

@@kristianroa5972 True... Ang daming magagandang OPM ngayon. Mga bagong artists and songwriters na sobrang underrated 😑

[@alucard8398]

It's because di pa masyadong maraming na produce na singers in their era. Compared now andami ng singers from the voice, tnt, idol ph, tapos yung iba mga non-showbiz nag cocover ng sarili nilang music. The music industry in this generation is getting more competitive. Kaya nga yung mga singer on 90's nalaos na din dahil din sa interest ng mga listeners which is more on Pop songs. Yung iba kinukuha na lang mag judge sa tnt or any like sila Rey Valera etc. Yung iba guest sa tv shows.

[@sassyfangirl23]

Parang may sapi itong si Erik nung 4:25 onwards.. Iba ang stage presence nya at yung boses niya dumagundong sa buong studio... And the last note was amazing... tagos hanggang screen yung emotion nya.. Binuhos na nya kumbaga... Sarah G and Erik for me yung may pinakamagandang final performance sa isang singing contest... And sila na ngayon ang standard ng mga amateuristang sumasali sa singing contest.. King and Queen of Pop...

Favorite ko dati si Sheryn dito 🥹 Lagi sya yung top 1 dito e, tiwala ako sya ang magchachampion. I was 11 yrs old back then at wala pa ako alam sa mga technicality sa pagkanta ganun. During the final performance palakpak ako ng palakpak after kumanta ni Sheryn, ang galing e. Pero si Eric, yung reaction ko nakanganga ako tapos gusto kong maiyak tapos goosebumps talaga. Yung iyak na tumagos sa akin yung kanta. Yun pala yung tinatawag nila na tatagos sa puso mo yung kanta, feel na feel ko sya, nakuha nya yung puso ko sa finals. And since back to zero ang score ayun nanalo si Eric.

[@ulap0622]

Ako naman si Christian ang favourite that time. Pero naiinis ako kasi alam kong hindi siya mananalo kasi ang galing nina Erik and Sheryn. Tapos sure pa ako na si Sheryn ang mananalo. 🙈 Yun lang, bumulaga talaga si Erik sa grand finals!!

Di nga ata ako nakatulog nun kasi Sunday na kinabukasan at excited ako kasi siguradong guest sila sa ASAP nyan. At si Erik Santos din pala first crush ko since Grade 5 ako nung kasagsagan nito. After nya manalo, lagi nang pinapatugtog yung This is the Moment sa school namin as in sa buong campus yan bago mag umpisa ang klase. Kaya mas ginanahan tuloy ako pumasok ng maaga nun. Hahaha! Good old memories. Fast forward, 30 yrs old na ako ngayon pero bumabalik pa rin ako dito once in a while para panoorin to at alalahanin na din si lola. Wala na siya e pero patuloy kong hahangaan at susuportahan si Erik Santos dahil napakahumble despite sa lahat ng natamasa nya sa 21 yrs nya sa industriya. Napakamapagmahal na anak pa.

I felt that Erik deserved the title despite that many said he didn’t.

@@johnlee-ic6js nauna lang sila Sarah, pero compare sa finale song, si Erik talaga wagi. But of course they are both winners in their own rights tapos sila pa mga nauna bago nagusbungan ung kaliwat kanan na singing contest sa tv kaya naging OG sila.

[@johnredlothbrok5558]

Kung mapapansin niyo always first si sheryn sa mga scoring every week tapos second si erik, kaya masasabi mo talaga mahalaga choice of song lalo na sa tournament lalo na sa finals 👍🏻 Well played ang pagpili ni erik ng song. He slayed it

[@brant22156]

Hinding hindi ko makalimutan yung pagprolong nya dun sa pause. Gives me chills until now.

[@LordGrayBack]

ibang iba ang performance ni erik ibinuhos niya ang buong puso at kaluluwa sa kantang ito... tama moment niya talaga ito perfect execution

[@ProximaSun]

I was in high school when this thing happened, when erick won, my family said that sheryn was robbed, i was against them ever since. Just look at this performance, it is very clear that Erick's performance is more lively, he connected with the song and he belted the notes very very well.. not to mention the diction is very clear, opera like.

[@adnandemosthenescalaquian4009]

I remember after ni Sheryn kumanta pagka balik from commercial gap sinabi ni Gary V na importante na galing sa puso pag kumakanta. Then sumunod si Erik ayun, napaka heartfelt nga ng performance

[@johnkarlomesamin1621]

July 2019 here hit the like Kung ikaw din 😍😍😍

[@levynxtiu947]

Sarah became the biggest product of singing reality show in early 20s.. But this show, became the most iconic among all singing reality show in the Philippines..

[@paulnicolaparua300]

Yung aura ng show nato parang American Idol rin. 💖

[@one.twentythree]

@@paulnicolaparua300 hindi rin. Di naman pinakita ang auditions nila dyan. Nagstart yan sa ASAP with 5 contestants each month, then weekly eliminations. So 1 winner each month. Then sa 10th spot naglaban laban yung mga wildcards which is si Erik ang nanalo. Nung sampu na sila tsaka yan nilipat sa panggabing timeslot.

[@paulnicolaparua300]

@@one.twentythree Yes.. I can still remember that. Si Marinel Santos ang natatandaan ko palage highest nun. What I mean is ibang klase kasi yung aura nila nun and magagaling talaga sila at pinagusapan sa pinas ang contest nila.

[@one.twentythree]

@@paulnicolaparua300 yung mga judges kasi noon sa ASAP eh weekly iba iba kaya impossible ang favoritism. Kaya lahat silang 10 magagaling. Pero yung second season flop na kasi napaka obvious ng favoritism ni Agot Isidro na ewan ko ba bakit kinukuhang judge eh di rin naman napasikat ang sarili as a singer.

[@paulnicolaparua300]

@@one.twentythree Magagaling din nman nung season 2 like Frenchie Dy.

[@joerexdelosreyes8495]

I am Sheryn's avid fan that time but you can really see Erik's winning this contest, well prepared with full of emotions. This is the best finale song for me so far followed by salamat of yeng & patuloy Ang pangarap of Angeline

[@celeena1937]

I remember ng napanood ko to wayback naiyak ako sa performance nya dito na naappreciate yung hindi masyado mataas ang boses, before kasi kapag mataas boses at magaling bumirit for sure panalo na, but this competition changed that mindset and we really appreciate yung mga judges na mas pinili na galing sa puso ang kanta.. 😊

He is singing with all his heart. You can feel it and with that he stole the heart of many and won. He deserves it!

[@thirdyhalili7394]

The part where he sang "i never reckoned second best" full of conviction. Di nakakapagraka at siya ang nanalo.

[@kceey1575]

ERIK SANTOS, ANGELINE QUINTO AT SARAH GERONIMO sobrang tumatak yung mga grand finale songs nila, yung emosyon at tipong tatayo talaga yung balahibo mo at deserve nila yung "CHAMPION TITLE"

I still remember this performance when I have small wins in life. 🙂 Such a great impact! Hehehe.

@4:23 Goose bump nung chorus na, kinilabutan ako dun sa "This is the moment", tapos ng cheer p ung nanay nya. May nanalo na. Ang clear ng delivery.

[@jodieurbano2436]

I clearly remember this performance. I was already rooting for him then he did this. I was like "WOW, WE HAVE A WINNER!" 😊😊😊😊

[@nightowl950]

nung pre school ako puro kanta ni Sheryn yung kinakanta ko sa school programs, (ngayon ko lang narealize di pala appropriate sa age ko😅) may cd kami ng mga kanta at mga video din ng mga performance nila Erik at Sheryn na pinapapraktisan ko, tuwang tuwa talaga ako pag pinapanood ko itong grand final performance ni Erik samantalang may sama pala ng loob si mama dahil natalo si Sheryn😂 grabeng goosebumps pa rin hanggang ngayon

[@eileenbates9481]

Wow, Erik has a amazing voice. He really show it when he sang This is Moment. Not only that but how much passion he put into the song . Was so amazing .
